The true value of life…
The last words of Steve Jobs, billionaire, who died at 56:
"I have reached the pinnacle of success in business." In other people's eyes my life is a success.
However, aside from work, I’ve had little joy. At the end of the day, wealth is just a fact I’ve gotten used to.
Right now, lying on my hospital bed, reminiscing all my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in, has faded and become meaningless in the face of imminent death.
You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you but you can't hire someone to stand sick and die for you.
Material things lost can be found again. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost - "Life".
Whatever stage of life we are currently at, in time we will face the day the curtain closes.
Love your family,spouse and friends... Treat them right . Cherish them.
As we get older, and wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - both give the same time...
Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet or purse, the amount inside is the same;
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and the distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.
That we drink a bottle of wine at 1000. $ or $10 hangover is the same;
That the house we live in is 300 or 3000 square feet - loneliness is the same.
You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from material things of this world.
Whether you're traveling first class or economy class, if the plane crashes, you go down with it...
Therefore, realize when you have family, friends and old friends with whom you have discussions, share memories, laugh, sing and talk about north-south-east or heaven and earth … this is the real happiness … the true value of life.
